·If the head of the household is moving with
some but not all household members, delete the members that remain in the
current county.

required to file an application and be determined eligible in order to
receive benefits.

·When there are multiple Food Stamp AGs in one case, and the head of the case moves to a new county the
remaining AGs are not required to file a new application.However, it will be necessary to go through
application registration to establish a new case.When establishing a new case, be sure the
current application date for the case they are currently in (the case being
transferred) is entered for the new case so that the certification period is
unchanged.Document in the new case’s
running record the circumstances and the reason that a new application was
not required.

control of the case will update the address on the appropriate ACCENT screens
and document the circumstances in running record and transfer the case to the
new county.

to request additional information as an SR case is not required to report
additional information such as shelter changes.

information, you must act on the information reported.

2.The Move is Reported to the New County

·If the recipient reports the move to the new
county first, the caseworker in the new county will notify the caseworker in
the county having control of the case and request that the case be
transferred.The new county will give
the sending county the new address for the household so the sending county
can change the address before the case is transferred.

·When the case is transferred, the caseworker
in the new county is not required to send a verification request letter as an
SR case is not required to report additional information such as shelter
changes.

·If other information is reported to the new
county, you must act on the information reported (such as verification of
income or resources).
